Sociology examines human relationships with the focus on objectively understanding the social world. Sociology majors inspect all aspects of social life while developing key problem solving skills.

The Sociology major provides insight into social factors and forces in society.

Sociology is the study of human society and social behavior. What is society? How does our society and culture affect us? How do people interact? Patterns of social interaction influence the choices you make. If we are products of our social world then what is that world? If these questions interest you then consider majoring in sociology.

Understanding the sociological perspective including social factors like race, ethnicity, gender, social class, education, religion, is a valuable tool in today's work environment. Graduates with Sociology majors work in social services, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, correctional facilities, government agencies, business and industry or continue their studies at the graduate level.
